WHY SHE WORE A SHAWL.
An Interesting Secret Given Away by Btg
Girls Little Brother.

About week ago some New York
young ladies got up a party to go on
moonlight excursion up the Hudson
river The night finally arrived, and
the moon flooded field and river with
n glow of pearly richness. When the
party was ready to leave the house
which had been appointed as the rem
devious it was noticed that one of the
most charming young ladies of the
cotcrie had shawl on.
What's the matter, Lucyg' inquired
one young lady; "arc you afraid of TAX
ing cold?'
mo, no" she replied.
perhaps you are troubled with ma
laria?' suggested a young man who
was struggling to direct all his vitality
into mOustache.
81 never had malaria" replied the
pretty creature with smile.
"The thermometer is up at SO. You'll
roast if YOU wear that shawl"
I'm willing to roast" she said,
rather pettshly.
Don't you know why she wears that
shawl?' laughed her little brother, as
he wiped some taily of his mouth with
his iacket-sleeve.
"You keep still. you John Henry!
screamed the dear angel, as she turned
triile red.
The boy got out Of reach and yelled;
'I'll tell you why she wears that shawl
When she gets on the river Bob puts
his arm under it and hugs her, and no.
body can see through the game!
Then there was a scene. John Henry
was driven summarily to bed and the
party started for the scene OF the les
tivity. - 7eras Siflings.

KAPlOLANl STREET.

EDITOR BULLETIN II would like,
through your valuable journal, TO
draw the attention Of the Road Super
visor, to the disgraceful, and, may
say dangerous, condition of Kapio-
lani street. The traflicablc portion
OF this street, between Beretania
and Lunalilo streets, is very mar
row, on account Of the dense growth
of vegetation on one side, and ut
the present time the road is almost
impossible, owing to the deep ruts.
During the past week the road has
been in q worse condition than ever,
owing to ten or twelve Government
mule carts constantly traversing up
and down, carting stone and gravel
from the side of Punchbowl Hill.
One would imagine that while these
carts are so employed it would not
cost much to fill in these dangerous
ruts, especially as the distance is so
short to haul the stone and gravel.
At the junction Of Kapiolani and
Lunalilo streets, the main water
pipes are exposed some three or
four inches above the surface, over
which every vehicle is compelled to
pass. Many months ago when these
pipes were laid, it was then the In
tention of the Road Supervisor to
put the road in order, but up to the
present time nothing whatever has
been done. TRAVELLER.

YANKEE YACHTS.
WHY THE ENGLISH YAcHTsMEN BARRED
AMERICAN CENTER-BoARDs.

New York, April 2S-TSpecial].
Staples, who represented the New
York Yacht club in the ocean yacht.
race, said yesterday: In my opinion
the race between the Mayhower and
the English cutter Arrow was a
stroke of diplomacy. Yachting men
knew that Boston would defeat the
cutter, and of course the victory
wouldn't amount to much from
nautical point of view, but allowing
such victory would be like throw.
ing out sprat to catch a whale. 1t
would get the Mayhower out Of the
way of the Thistle, when that yacht
arrived here, and afford the English
yacht, or Scotch cutter, as you care
to call il, a chance to capture the
cup. The Maynower, of course,
would not be back in time to enter
the trial races, and would therefore
be out of the international races,
and thus the most important adver-
sary in the American feet would be
uiSpooeu VI.
Touching the subject of Chamber
layne's refusal to accept the Ameri-
can center-board code and time
allowance, Staples said: "They
were, as you may remember, very
willing to arrange race with the
Mayfiower until they learned that
Payne, anticipating their scheme,
was contemplating the construction
of new steel sloop on lines which
yachting-men here concede to be an
Improvement on the MayAower and
Puritan models. Then the English
yachtsmen set up the code limita-
tons, and the result is that the May
flower and all center-board boats are
practically barred out"
